Locke Lord Bissell & Liddell LLP
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Locke Lord Bissell & Liddell LLP is an American law firm of approximately 700 attorneys with 11 domestic and one overseas office. Locke Lord Bissell & Liddell was formed on October 2, 2007, after the combination of Texas-based Locke Liddell & Sapp PLLC and Lord Bissell & Brook LLP, a national law firm headquartered in Chicago.
Management of each firm first proposed the merger in May 2007, and partners of each firm approved it on September 12. Locke Lord Bissell & Liddell LLP will have gross revenues of approximately $400 million, placing it within The American Lawyer’s “AmLaw 100” annual rankings of the top U.S. law firms.
In 2000 the firm settled a lawsuit which had asserted that "it aided a client in defrauding investors," for $22m, the client being a company belonging to Russell Erxleben. [1] Harriet Miers, former counsel to President George W. Bush and once mooted nominee to the Supreme Court of the United States is currently a partner in the litigation and public policy group at LLB&L. She was once co-managing partner of legacy firm Locke Liddell & Sapp.
LLBL should not be confused with the now defunct law firm of Lord Day & Lord.
